Federal judge halts DHS door-to-door noncitizen voter operations in nine states
U.S. District Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín issued an order halting Department of Homeland Security field operations aimed at identifying alleged noncitizen voters across nine states ahead of the midterm elections. The court determined that the agency's door-to-door questioning efforts relied on flawed data and likely violated the Voting Rights Act's prohibition against voter intimidation, warning that U.S. citizens were being improperly ensnared. Homeland Security defended its inquiries as legitimate measures to preserve election integrity, but voting rights groups praised the decision for preventing armed federal agents from chilling turnout in key states, setting up immediate appellate legal battles as early voting continues nationwide.
